Junius Maltby’s Superficially Deep Life
The strength of John Steinbeck’s novel, The Pastures of Heaven, is the same as all good fiction. As we are introduced to his characters, we find pieces of ourselves in the story. This is, of course, why Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. Our curiosity is hooked by good fiction. But when we listen well, we […]

At the core, each of these responses is seduced by a common lie. All three of the pathways are secret attempts at glory. Martin Luther made a distinction between […]
Searching for Faithfulness: Three Visions of Faithfulness that are Actually Unfaithful (Part 1/2)
I don’t think there are many churches or Christians out there aiming to be unfaithful. Most want to speak faithfully for God and believe they are doing so.

Lying Light
This morning I was praying for four men. All are in their 20’s and 30’s. All are in vocational ministry. All are suffering from an unsustainable pace. All struggle to find refuge from the chaos. These men are spread across North America. Is this a coincidence or a widespread danger of our times? Our technology is so advanced that […]
